How to reset a Beko washing machine?

When using a Beko front-loading washing machine, it's often necessary to reset the program. This problem arises for a number of reasons: people suddenly realize they've forgotten an important item in the wash, they've selected the wrong program, or they want to add more clothes to the wash cycle. In these cases, do you need to reset the Beko washing machine's program? Is it possible, and if so, how?

Stopping the program correctly

The easiest way is to restart the system. However, this method is only advisable if the device has frozen and stopped responding to commands.A forced reboot can cause problems with electronics. So, it's better to find a more gentle method. A safe reset can be performed as follows.

• The "Start" key is pressed for 4 seconds.
• The indicators located on the control panel should activate - the green light will come on, then they will go out.
• The wash should stop.
• If the washing machine is an older model, you will have to set the selector to the neutral position.

After successful manipulations, the machine "silences." The lights flash on and off. If nothing like this happens, there's a malfunction, and the system is signaling an error. This means you'll need to reboot. The proper way to do this is as follows.

• The selector is placed in the first position.
• Then press the “Stop/Start” button and hold it for 5 seconds.
• The machine is disconnected from the power supply.
• Then they plug it back into the network and start washing.
• If the equipment refuses to work when you press the "Start" button, you should immediately unplug the cord from the outlet.

Important! Abruptly disconnecting equipment from the power supply may damage electronic systems!

Water is preventing the door from opening

Resetting the system is only recommended in desperate situations. If something valuable was left in the pockets of your clothes, you should quickly stop the wash cycle, open the door, and drain the water. All these steps must be taken immediately, otherwise the item may be damaged.

Important! Soapy water heated to 45 degrees Celsius or higher can damage microchips and oxidize circuits.

To remove contents from a drum filled with water, follow these steps:

1. The washing cycle needs to be stopped - the "Start" button is pressed, the lights on the control panel go out.
2. The selector should be placed in neutral position.
3. Afterwards, you need to activate the “Drain without spin” or “Drain only” mode.
4. Next, press the "Start" button.

The washing machine should stop after this. The water will drain, and the door will be unlocked. If the drain doesn't work, you'll need to remove the dustbin (filter element). It's located behind a small door at the bottom of the machine.

You can remove it by unscrewing the part counterclockwise. Keep in mind that up to a bucket of water may drain, so be sure to have a container and rags ready.

To summarize, resetting a Beko washing machine should be done correctly. An emergency reset can cause a number of problems, but if you can't stop the machine otherwise, you can use it. However, there's no guarantee the machine will function as before; it may even require repair.

   After starting it, it simply doesn't respond to the buttons. Even unplugging it doesn't help. You plug it back in, and it continues to stubbornly clatter. The only thing you can do is unplug it for about 10 minutes. It's fine. It's just that the controls are clumsy. It's designed for a lot of fiddling around. Enjoy.
